Trans Mountain pipeline springs a leak in Darfield B.C.

Chek News is reporting that "The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy says that approximately 100 litres of crude oil have leaked from the Trans Mountain pipeline in Darfield B.C.
They received the report just before 5 a.m. Sunday morning, and say a flow meter spilled the oil onto Kinder Morgan’s site." 100 litres is relatively small but this is just another spill in the existing pipeline. We are fortunate it didn't leak into any waterways.

Global is reporting that "It has been three years since the MV Marathassa leaked 2,700 litres of bunker fuel into English Bay, and the City of Vancouver says it still hasn’t seen a dime in compensation for its estimated half-a-million dollar cleanup costs."
